Hi,

I'm not good w/ cars and so I'm not sure on what the problem is. I changed the timing belt w/in 6 months and the battery in the last months (they told me the battery was very low during my oil change).

We just had a hurricane, car was uneffected but stayed parked in a driveway. And I started it up fine yesterday and it was fine. Just started it up, did a little pull and then it felt like it was running out of gas (tank is full). Now it won't start, it lights up, does a little of the starting up sound (not sure on the verbiage) and nothing.

Anyway to assist me? I am afraid to tow it since w/ the hurricane, it's going to be a long time getting anything done and just want to get an idea.

thx in advance.

Hi vallen182,

If it is fuel related, you need to check the main relay and fuel pump.

Try the following links.

Hi and thx for the reply. It's not fuel related since I had a full tank of gas. I looked under the hood and everything looks intact. Going to have to bring it somewhere I guess.
